Chapter 309 309 Eggplant Bun and Maotai Liquor

Chapter 309 309. Eggplant buns and Maotai wine

Now that the days are long and the nights are short, the sun is scorching hot at around 3 o'clock, and the green rushes are basking on the concrete floor outside, which soon looks dull.

Song Youde got up and walked around twice, then couldn't help but sigh and shake his head: "You guys don't know anything now!"

After saying that, he went to the seventh cousin's stove again, picked up two pinches of plant ash with a shovel, and sprinkled it evenly on the rushes.

"We have to do this first, absorbing water and removing insects, so that it can be fully exposed to the sun. After we have weaved the straw mat, we will have less to worry about."

Song Tan didn't blush at all: "I've never knitted straw mats, how do I know? Grandpa, just know how to do it! I'll have to rely on you for all the straw mats at home in the future!"

Song Youde raised the corners of his mouth proudly again:

"That's the old saying: An elder in a family is like a treasure. Are you making this up?"

Song Tan: ...I just complimented you a few words, why are you still so proud? When you say this to yourself as an old man, you look so much like Grandma Wang!

Looking at her grandfather's half-cut golden tobacco, she couldn't help but feel something in her heart: "Grandpa, you cut two more pounds, and I'll give them to my friends."

Song Youde was a little reluctant: "What kind of friend are you? Can't you say goodbye?"

Two pounds of shredded tobacco equals nearly three pounds of dry tobacco leaves, so the tobacco stems can be weighed.

Song Tan thought of his savior - why didn't his friend place orders recently?

"This friend introduced me to a big customer. Every time he places an order, the price is 100,000 yuan. You decide whether to give it away or not."

All right.

Song Youde sat back on the bench and picked up the kitchen knife again: "Bring me another bundle of tobacco leaves."

…

Here, the seventh cousin is still thinking about the menu for the evening——

There were so many people and it was hot, so he was worried.

"Tantan, I think the eggplants in that field are pretty good. How about we make it simple tonight? Make an eggplant steamed bun and make a bowl of white fungus soup? If that's not enough, how about a bowl of cold noodles?"

Eggplant buns? !

Song Tan immediately began to drool and couldn't help it anymore.

The seventh cousin laughed when he saw her appearance:

"Okay, that's all for dinner. I'll go pick some more eggplants from the field and bring back two handfuls of green onions - pick some red peppers for me. I'll fry up a sauce for the cold noodles."

There were a lot of people in the family, so they said it was just a few eggplant steamed buns, but in fact Song Tan went there with a basket and came back with most of the basket full of eggplants. The two handfuls of green and tender green onions next to it are particularly juicy.

The seventh cousin called Qiao Qiao again: "Actually, purple eggplant is the best for eggplant steamed buns, but our purple eggplant is not yet ripe, and green eggplant is not that bad either."

"Sometimes, when cooking, you have to use local ingredients. When you can choose, you choose ingredients. When you can't, we have to be flexible."

Qiaoqiao listened obediently: "I know, whatever is useful."

"Okay," the seventh cousin is now used to his incisiveness. He is also a bit addicted to teaching such a smart apprentice, and now he is even more rude when giving instructions:

"First pick the green onions and chop them into finely chopped green onions."

Where does he need to choose?

Aunt Lianhua and the old lady couldn't wait to take the spring onions, pinch them and clean them up.

After Qiaoqiao's practice during this period, although her cutting speed is still a little slow, she can now cut vegetables into the same size and evenly.

Chopped green onions are just basic skills.

Here, the seventh cousin was even distractedly teaching him: "Cut this eggplant into thick round slices for us to eat at home. Just cut it horizontally. The big and small ones can be eaten."

Compared with other dishes, eggplant steamed buns really have no technical content at all.

Beat some eggs, add some salt, water, flour, chopped green onion and mix well, stir into a thick batter, then dip the eggplant pieces into the batter one by one and put them into the pot, and fry slowly over low heat...

Before long, the unique aroma of eggplant spread over the small courtyard.

Qiao Qiao blanched the white fungus, and then received a new question: "Let me ask you, why do you need to blanch all the ingredients for white fungus soup first?"

Qiaoqiao remembered it too clearly.

He said loudly: "Because if you don't blanch them first and cook them, they will be a little bit sour!"

“When do you want to add the wolfberry?”

"You have to wait until the white fungus soup is basically cooked before adding it, otherwise it will become pantothenic and the nutrients in it will be destroyed."

"Um."

The seventh cousin was satisfied: "Good boy!"

Qiaoqiao became more and more passionate.

But now, as the sun was setting, Song Youde finally cut out four kilograms of shredded tobacco, carefully weighed it into two portions on a scale, and refused to take any more than one or two.

Then he put his hands behind his back, walked around the pot twice, and then took back the rushes that had not been exposed to the sun.

Turning around and finally free, he added: "Do more. I'll call Xiao Zhu over, and I'll ask her to take the tobacco back tonight."

He was minding his own arrangements, but now he felt particularly melancholy: When will a guest come to the house?

There was no one to drink his Maotai, so it didn't taste good. Mainly because he couldn't show off, he didn't even want to open the bottle.

But he couldn't bear to see random people come by on weekdays, and he was particularly anxious at this moment.

Xiao Zhu, the party secretary, is hardly seen outside at all now. When he called me, she didn't even refuse, and soon took a walk over.

As soon as she entered the yard, she smelled the indescribable salty aroma and the attractiveness of deep-fried food, which made her stomach growl.

Looking at Qiao Qiao taking out the white fungus soup one by one and letting it cool down, she still showed her regret without revealing it:

"It would be so refreshing if you drank it ice-cold!"

"That's not okay." The old lady Wang Lifen smiled and said: "Girls, it's not okay to eat cold food all the time. It's not summer yet. It's good to eat more warm food."

Okay.

Secretary Zhu accepted it without any obstacles, and even sighed: "Old people know how to take care of their bodies. Young people like us are hungry and full, and we either eat spicy food or greasy and cold food... After a long time, our stomachs are damaged."

Song Youde shouted loudly when he heard it:

"Look, I told you not to be so formal! Come directly to me for meals in the future, but you are embarrassed and pretend (zuo sound)!"

Song Tan and Zhang Yanping looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

Secretary Zhu smiled: "You are so worried about me, old man, did you drink the wine you brought last time? I have nothing to do tonight, how about I drink a cup with you?"

"If you feel it suits your taste, I will bring it to you next time."

Oh.

This is incredible.

Song Youde was immediately surprised: "Can you drink?"

"Yes." Secretary Xiao Zhu was particularly generous: "I knew how to drink when I was a teenager. I won't drink too much. Just have a drink!"

"Okay, okay!"

Song Youde had already hurried into the house to rummage through his hidden Moutai.

And here, Secretary Xiao Zhu smiled at Song Tan in a friendly manner: "The atmosphere in our family is really good."

Song Tan remained silent.

She thought to herself: I finally saw someone who is better at taking advantage of others than me.

On this side, Song Youde not only took the Moutai, but also took out the bag of tobacco:

"Come on, Xiao Zhu, I cut it for you this afternoon. You can send it back to your family when the time comes. They will definitely like it!"

Secretary Xiao Zhu took it with a smile: "Okay, if there are any good cigarettes at home, I will bring them over for you to try."

Promote my "Amazing Magic"... No one is optimistic about it.
